Private University with Pharmacy

Approval of the school of pharmacy comes from the national university commission (NUC) and the pharmacists council of Nigeria (PCN). There is temporary and permanent accreditation. With permanent accreditation from both parties, the school can successfully induct graduates into the profession.

To run a pharmacy faculty is expensive. Very expensive. That is why it took many federal universities years to roll out the programme. This also applies to state own universities. And with what is on ground now, only four private universities have been approved in Nigeria. And most of them did not start the programme with the founding of the school. However, there are some universities currently running the programme and yet to get accreditation.
